Built in 1973 Maija was designed by EG Van de Stadt, moulded by Tyler’s of Tonbridge, and fitted out by Southern Offshore Shipyard, Poole. She sailed on the East Coast until 2008, but was then abandoned in a yard on the River Deben until 2019. The present owner bought her in lockdown, and has restored and refitted her over the last 2-3 years.
